City’s expensive stars aren’t even allowed to use the 3G on their phones, but Zabaleta insists everyone is delighted by Guardiola’s latest stand.

He told TyC Sports: “You always want and dream to be trained by the best coaches, and today I have the opportunity to work with one of the best.

“Actually, you learn a lot, especially the way you live it. Beyond knowledge, his passion for football. He forces us to have breakfast and lunch together at the club. The internet is cut off, we are held incommunicado. We don’t even use 3G.”

The Spaniard is famous for his passionate approach to the game and has already implemented some huge changes at the Etihad following his summer arrival from Bayern Munich.
